About Jeff Devries
I\'m a seasoned product designer / director with experience across a wide range of media and technologies. For the last four years I\'ve focused on generative AI, exploring ways to empower people with emergent AI technologies responsibly.I bring to the table a strong background in design methodologies, communicating design problems and solutions through storytelling, and building prototypes in order to take an idea from concept to definition and execution. I believe in building strong partnerships with product management and engineering; that design is a process that works best when all key competencies contribute to the evolution of an idea early and often.Also-Strategic thinking, concept development and UCD design processes-Design within an agile/dual-track scrum environment-Designing multi-device experiences, where the UX transcends a single device (IoT, tangible UX)-Designing for new multimodal interface paradigms, employing voice, gestures, touch, and other physical and environmental input-Deep understanding of research methodologies and facilitation-Team building and management. I\'ve grown several teams and enjoy mentoring and facilitating the design process.
